kristin-lyerlymdEvers emphasizes Strong Sense of Community and Service


Green Bay, WI - Dr. Kristin Lyerly is honored to announce her endorsement by Governor Tony Evers, and proud to be the first Congressional candidate in Wisconsin’s Eighth District to receive endorsements from Wisconsin’s statewide office holders.

tony-evers“I’m proud to announce my endorsement for Dr. Kristin Lyerly in Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District” said Governor Evers. “Dr. Lyerly is a leader, a community builder, and a true champion for the people of Wisconsin. She has deep roots in Northeastern Wisconsin, and her background in advocating for patients and families gives her a unique and invaluable perspective on the issues that matter most to our communities – from affordable and accessible health care, to public education, to supporting our workers. I have no doubt that she will bring the same care and dedication to her work in Congress that she has shown throughout her career and her advocacy for the people of Wisconsin.”

“It is an immense honor to be endorsed by Governor Evers, one of this state’s most dedicated public servants, and someone who knows exactly what it takes to represent Wisconsin” said Dr. Lyerly. “His commitment to the common good is evident through his years of service and advocacy, and that same commitment to our institutions and the role of democracy in our country is an example I look forward to carrying on in Congress.”
